started building model airplanes when
Admiral Richard Byrd flew over the North
Pole (which was in 1926)!
All of my dad’s friends and almost
everyone who worked in his machine design
and building firm were also model builders,
and these are the influences that were
instrumental in forming my outlook on and
opinions about modeling.

make the biggest difference in achieving an
accurate, well-built model
